This is another one from the Aletsch glacier region. Actually one of my favorites from this serie.

Man, you have used your time there to the maximum. This is another fine capture. I can see why this is your favorite. Very well balanced and very appealing colors. I like the cyan cast on the glacier.

Gorgeous! I love the lighting on the clouds and the more subtle light on the flowers in the foreground...what a dramatic scene of the river racing through...looks almost like a great big highway!

Nice one Bill - a glacial highway. Looking at the clouds this could use some ccw rotation.

Gorgeous scene Bill. The pink alpine roses really add to the view. I agree with Marsel's rotation suggestion based on the base of the mountain in the back ground. Beautiful none-the-less.

What an incredible place Bill. This is beautiful. The top is a bit too bright, but overall very well done. The flowers and green hillside are very nice.

This just keeps getting better and better. I think I prefer this one over the vertical. Beautiful image Bill!

Very, very nice. I like the composition. You have a similar shot with vertical composition, which I like even a bit more, though.

I think that trying to move the white balance towards slightly warmer colors would improve this for me (the glacier is a bit overly blue now for my taste). But overall, it's a great shot. Makes me want to visit the place, soon.

Another gorgeous scenic Bill. I like this one a lot, but I prefer the color and contrast of 'Alpine Beauty'. Perhaps there is a bit too much shadowed areas in this one so it doesn't pop as much. Lovin' this series.

Bill, this is my favorite of your series so far. Fantastic colors and details as well as perfect lighting conditions to my eye. Your composition show this majestic scene at its best in my opinion.

Spectacular, Bill! Well composed with a strong FG. I like the curving flow of the glacier.
Good color throughout and the clouds really make the sky work.
